This procurement falls within the public authority sub-central government sector and covers services required for the accommodation, transportation, and rehoming of pets for individuals in the care of the council. The procurement process, which did not involve competitive tendering due to its below-threshold nature, was finalised with Animal Care Service Ltd named as the supplier. The contract commenced on 15 April 2025 and will run until 31 March 2027, in the United Kingdom's UKF22 region. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 15 April 2025 and its publication notice on 30 June 2025.
